ALIIVIENTARY COMPOSITION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 786,111, dated March28, 1905.

Application filed September 22, 1904. Serial No. 225,398.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, BAR'IH GroLLwI'rzER, a citizen of the Empire ofGermany, residing in Antwerp, in the Kingdom of Belgium, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Alimentary Compositions, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved alimentary composition which iseasily digestible and which is of specialutility for improving the bloodand strengthening the nerves, owing to its contents of iron, albumen,and calcium phosphate, said composition being supplied in the form of apaste and baked into cake or zwieback; and the invention consists of analimentary composition containing a condensed mixture of cows milk, pigsblood, spinach, butter, sugar, and calcium phosphate.

,The composition is advantageously mixed in the following proportions:one-half a liter of cows milk with the cream contained therein, one-halfa liter of fresh pigs blood, one kilogram of boiled and finely-choppedspinach, one hundred and fifty grams of butter, one hundred and fiftygrams of sugar, fifty grams of calcium-phosphate. The ingredients aremixed together with salt and other seasoning into an easily-flowing massand then evaporated until a paste mass is obtained, which is placed inglass jars, tin cans, or other hermetically-sealed vessels. When usingsaid paste, a dough made of flour, to which a suificient quantity ofbaking-powder has been added, is mixed therewith in the proportion ofone t0 four, which mixture is then rolled out to the thickness of aquarter of an inch, cut into oblong cakes, baked in the oven, and

subsequently dried, forming cakes of greenish-brown color, which areserved with the meals or with coffee, chocolate, or otherwise.

In place of baking-powder the dough can be made with yeast and baked,cut into slices, and dried in the nature of zwieback. In either form thecomposition forms an easilydigestible product, which, owing to itscontents of iron and albumen in organic form and calcium phosphate, isof special use for improving the blood by the introduction of iron andfor strengthening the brain and nerves. The iron contained in thespinach is introduced into the system in an easily-digestible form, thecakes or zwieback made from the composition owing to their attractivetaste being specially useful as a food for children, invalids, and allthose who require improvement in the condition of their blood and in thestrengthening of their nerves.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. An alimentary composition, containing a mixture ofcows milk, pigs blood, spinach, butter, sugar and calcium phosphate.

2. A cake or zwieback made from an alimentary composition containing amixture of cows milk, pigs blood, boiled and finelychopped spinach,butter, sugar, calcium phosphate, a suitable seasoning, and flour.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
